Since my son is home from college and training for a half marathon, I have taken to the streets to run with him (although we don't run together as he is far more advanced in his running), but we do pass each other during the runs. I have liked the outside runs in the nice evening weather. Before a month ago, I was doing all treadmill walks and runs and liked it but think being outside helps me to not focus on how long or far I have gone and instead lets me zone out for bits of time thus increasing my endurance to push forward.

I now have some fitbit friends but only because they requested me. I still don't know how to request a friend or search for one. I am sure it isn't that hard, but just haven't had the time to figure it out.
